GDay Everyone.
I have put a seal kit in my 80 series steering box. The steering box has sealed beautifully with no leaks whatsoever but there is about 50 to 60mm play in the steering wheel. I have adjusted the adjuster screw and locking nut on the box which is would all the way in to reduce the play to what I have now. It does appear that the play is somewhere from the shaft into the top part of the box. I can move the steering wheel left to right before contact with out the wheels moving. The bottom section of the box to the wheels has no play. I have inspected all tie rod ends etc etc and none these have any form of excessive movement in them at all.
I am currently at a loss. I fitted the Terrain Tamer seal kit and had this problem. Thought maybe I had lost a bearing in the process and got hold of a few more. I now refitted a new Terrian Tamer kit and tried again. I found I wasn't missing any bearings at all sand did job according to the you tube videos and to the manual. A Max Ellery manual not a Haynes or Gregorys. Can not adjust any further than what it is. Does anyone have any ideas? Is there anyone in Perth preferably south of river that anyone knows specialises in 80 series steering?
Thanks a lot everyone.
